typical Lagrie. Diacalla differs from this genus, inter alia, in the 
form of the head and prothorax, in the shorter antenne, in the 
greater length and cultriform shape of the external maxillary lobe, 
in the longer and cylindrical labial palpi, &c. &c. The spines on the 
anterior tibize are almost hidden by the pubescence. 
Lctistygna vetula. 
I. fusea, elytris pedibusque rufulis. - 
Hab, New South Wales. 
Dark brown, with a thin greyish pubescence, mixed with long erect 
hairs; head and prothorax covered with coarse crowded punctures ; 
scutellum quadrate, with a close silvery pubescence; elytra nearly 
twice the breadth of the prothorax at the base, dull reddish, shining, 
coarsely punctate, the punctures deeply impressed and nearly con- 
tiguous, with the intervals very rugose ; body beneath reddish brown 
or dark brown, with a greyish pubescence; legs reddish, pubescent ; 
antennze about half the length of the body, the second joint a little 
shorter than the third. Length 5 lines. 
Ietistygna adusta. 
I, nigra, elytris pedibusque rufulis, tarsis anticis quam in preecedente lon- 
gioribus. 
Hab. New South Wales. 
Smaller, and more slender than the former, with the head, prothorax, 
and antennee black, the second joint of the antennze much shorter than 
the third, the anterior tarsi longer and narrower, and the anterior tibiee 
less spined on their outer edge. Length 23 lines. 
Evcropss { Anthribidee]. 
Caput infra oculos paulo latius; rostrum transversum, antice truncatum ; 
scrobe magna, rotundata. Antenne maris corpore plus duplo longiores, 
art. primo brevi crasso, secundo elongato-obconico, reliquis ad nonum 
capillaribus, apice nodosis, duobus ultimis brevibus clavam formantibus. 
Oculi mediocres, laterales, armati. Prothorac subcylindricus; carina 
basi haud parallela, et ad latera vix continuata. lytra cylindrica, 
prothorace paulo latiora. Pedes mediocres ; tars? art. basali sequenti- 
bus duobus simul sumptis haud longiore. 
Most of the characters of this genus are those of Hvwillis*, after 
which it may be ranked. It has, however, the head broader below, 
so as to form a strong margin round the scrobe, the second antennal 
joint elongate and obconic, the ninth entering less decidedly into
